I have been meaning to share this brand discovery for a year now. I saw Lostine at my first visit to the New York Gift Fair in 2012 and I just haven’t been able to get them out of my head.

A Philadelphia based furniture and lighting brand, Lostine uses simple materials and is inspired by early American aesthetics – I like to think of them as a contemporary take on wholesome Shaker design.

You may have seen some of Lostine’s colour-blocked Sycamore cutting boards in Anthropologie but the rest of their stuff has been fairly under the workout pokies radar.

I’m also obsessed with their long peg rack [below] for displaying kitchen tools. Made of white oak and studded with hooks made of leather, copper and wood – I can’t get over the simplicity of propping the rolling pin through the wooden knobs – beautiful and functional.
